5 YEAR HOUSE PRICE FORECAST
The JLL Big Six Report (H1 2025) highlights Manchester's robust property market, with average three-year rental growth exceeding 28% and high demand from overseas students bolstering rental demand.
Average prices for new build apartments have remained largely unchanged (+0.1%) due to cautious buyers amid rising service charges and mortgage costs, though new build rents have risen 55% over five years as higher-quality stock enters the market.
Looking ahead, cautious buyer sentiment may ease with rate cuts, stimulating demand, while the lettings market anticipates seasonal growth, particularly from overseas students, despite budget pressures.
